Abstract

Fine woody debris (FWD; deadwood \textless 10 cm diameter) is a crucial but often overlooked component of forest ecosystems. It provides habitat for microbial communities and enhances soil fertility through nutrient cycling. This role is especially important in managed forests, which typically have limited deadwood stocks. Climate change is increasing forest disturbances and expanding early successional forests with low canopy cover, yet the effects on microbial communities and related processes remain poorly understood.
